My thoughts exactly. Oligarchs calls themself Elites, I assume it was self designated...but I prefer to call them parasites...living off the hard work of others, and slowly destroying them in the process. They plunder the resources of locations, then when depleted, they move on...hence ghost towns, and cities.

It’s not about him. Eric Schmidt just got caught saying the quiet part out loud. No one gets to that level of wealth without being a sociopath. They train and compete at how to exploit people.
They start young. George Soros lectured at a university, and I couldn't believe the deference and respect the economics students paid him. When George was a teen in Hungary, he helped Not-cs round up jews for a share of the spoils. Although he was a Jew himself, with blonde hair and plus eyes, he could pass for "Aryan." To economics majors, he's rich and your not and that's all that matters!

I did notice how casually he mentioned petitioning Congress and also earlier how he mentioned he'd just "visit the White House" and basically tell them what to do. None of this is shocking to me, of course. The only thing that used to be shocking to me is that people seem to be totally OK with it.
What may anyone do about it? Lobbying is in perpetual contact with Congress (more so by Republicans seeking to entrench themselves into computing technologies, e.g,, google, fakebook, etc, with full openness to exploiting people). The White House, however, as executors of the laws, especially under incompetent Trump who doesn't listen to any competence, too, except lawyers that rationalize as their profession never demanded so much. What should anyone realistically do? That's a real question.
This is how oligarchs think: A man wants to lose 20 pounds. He goes to his doctor who outlines a plan for the man to eat healthier and add exercise and after 6 months, he'll lose 20 pounds. The man also asks a Venture Capitalist (VC) who tells him that he has a more efficient, easier way for him to lose 20 pounds which will save him six months. The man chooses the VC. He goes to the VC's office and the VC cuts off his leg. The VC then bills him twice the cost of a doctor's visit. And yes, this is exactly the way they think. This is also the way they run their businesses (and why private equity owned nursing homes have a mortality rate that is 10 percent higher than publicly owned homes).
No. The doctor would put him on Ozempik, Wegovy, etc which the VC funded to IPO or sell to big pharma who fund the research and trials to license it and get the Board of Medicine to instruct doctors to use as a treatment.

He's never done any real technical skilled job. He's an investor. He's made a career exploiting and destroying the people who do the actual work that makes the products he makes money from.
He is *Dr.* Eric Schmidt. As a researcher, he personally laid some important building blocks of computer science by developing the Lex lexical analyzer. In his later career as a manager, he guided the development of many of the foundational technologies of the computer industry today like Java and Google (and a lot of the innovations in distributed computing that were incubated there)

Young, highly-educated, and overpaid engineers are all pretty cocky and arrogant. I’m one of those programmers, I try to be humble and deferential, and even I would admit that I’m an arrogant a-hole at times. And though he came from an engineering background, he’s too old and distanced from engineering work to do that any longer. I don’t fully understand what a manager does, but knowing the talent he was able to attract and how he inspired and deployed them, I think he had far more global impact on the world as a manager than he could have as an engineer. He may have been a brilliant engineer, but there’s no way he could compete with the brilliance of the engineers that he had to manage.
Right at the start of his talk I noticed how Schmit (prolly misspelled) he was delighted to replace robots with “arrogant engineers”. Then he went on to say that the United States doesn’t have enough energy to even launch his idea and we need Canada to do this. if requiring all the energy from the people off two major countries on earth to get his robotic fantasy going on, only to replace these people, isn’t that the ultimate arrogance. Why would the people of Canada and the United States one tech companies to use up all the energies just to replace them with robotics??? This is not like the Industrial Revolution, because the objective then was to make stuff for people and make things work for people. In this case, it is to obliterate people and replace them with robotics. Nobody will have money to buy anything not even food so who is the market for let alone make anything useful with robots in their daily lives? Have they even done a study of who the targeted market is for Has anybody done a study if we even want this, or is this going to be the same as virtual reality? Nobody really wants it.

I think you missed the most revealing comment he made during that session. When he was talking about who would profit from all of this? He basically said that the rich would get richer and everyone else would "have to do the best they can". Which I took as "they'll have to accept the crumbs from our table and if not just die". Sick.
I tried to work for the poor, side by side. Had to sue them. Nowadays I'm working for myself again. Problem is that I think like that guy.

You have to always try to be human, but when you do you get betrayed by the most noble. Much like the poor did to me prior. I had problems with family, the rich, the poor. In this world there are no true flags when problems knock on your door and you escape alive from them. I try to be a fool sometimes, the problem is: I'm not dumb enough for that.

Ok, so both you and Schmidt misunderstand getting PhDs to work on the factory floor. My first boss at my first job out of varsity had me working production for several weeks using the software I would later continue to develop. Absolutely best lesson I ever learnt about software. Why? Empathy. After that (and other times I've done production stuff before coding) I always thought about the poor people spending all day with the code and interfaces I made. It also makes you friends at the coal face, and gives you a much better understanding of the company as a whole. If you think you are too good for production, even with a PhD, then you are the problem...

Capitalists have assumed global governance for the past 50 years now, which is why human rights and borders are being whittled away. As long as we're living in this monopolistic capitalist world, we should pick up the fight for FDR's Second Bill of Rights, in order to preserve the dignity of basic human rights: The right to a useful and remunerative job in the industries or shops or farms or mines of the Nation; The right to earn enough to provide adequate food and clothing and recreation; The right of every farmer to raise and sell his products at a return which will give him and his family a decent living; The right of every businessman, large and small, to trade in an atmosphere of freedom from unfair competition and domination by monopolies at home or abroad; The right of every family to a decent home; The right to adequate medical care and the opportunity to achieve and enjoy good health; The right to adequate protection from the economic fears of old age, sickness, accident, and unemployment; The right to a good education. "All of these rights spell security. And after this war is won we must be prepared to move forward, in the implementation of these rights, to new goals of human happiness and well-being. America’s own rightful place in the world depends in large part upon how fully these and similar rights have been carried into practice for our citizens. For unless there is security here at home there cannot be lasting peace in the world." ~ Franklin D. Roosevelt

'We do what we want, bitxhes, by any means necessary' is the only real motto MuriKa has existed on, and this motto only applies to a select few. This platonic cave has been constructed with intention. There is a world outside this cave that is far better. "We" just have to find the moral excellence to walk out.
Excuse me but a quite small (but yes they had power) owned slaves & very very few (evil yes totally wrong) did the genocide. Stop this everthing all the time men from the west did was wrong. Black & white thinking IS not fixed by more black & white thinking.
all societies of that time were receptive to slavery. if not all people of those societies. while i'm sure you would have been one of the exceptions, many of those coming here actually struggled with the issue. do you think those western europeans went into the interior of africa to capture those slaves? did you know there were black slave owners in this country? "murika" existed on an idea that no nation had attempted. it's coming to an end. don't kid yourself; there's no world outside this cave that is far better. and when you discover that will you have the moral excellence to walk back in?

Yeah, 100% the reason his programmers didn't program what he told them to is because he was telling them to do shit like this. Crazy how someone that got that rich in tech can be that clueless.
Who on earth actually thinks they aren't being recorded. Particularly in an audience of young rich people. Unless he is hugely stupid, he was happy to get this out.
the fact that people have not figured out rich effs dont care and despise lower financial class is quite dissapointing. its not like it was never like this prior from the mediaval times to now, heck, its in most of the holy book, the rich are better treated and can get slaves and so on.
What a great analysis. When I saw this I felt the same way, especially stressing that we must elect a government that is on the side of the people and not on the technologists or corporations…the donor/politician relationship needs to end.
Listening to billionars while understanding the basic idea of class struggle is the best way to prove it. Workers with a Phd should spend a year as the other workers because it humbles them, and confuses their bargaining power and create worker competition.
And workers who do not have a PhD should attempt to try and survive academia before sneering at PhDs. It's about class solidarity. We can't have that if we reject the academic class that provides us with the data and the words to describe the issue properly. Without those intellectuals, we wouldn't even understand, dimly, what "class struggle" is because we'd all be serfs who think so small that our world is our little little tiny village. Those PhDs are the ones who also produce work that we use to show what the billionaire class is doing to us. Income inequality? GINI coefficient? All this stuff is the stuff you need to show what is happening in our world and it was the PhDs who did that work. So be grateful. there are plenty of Scabs in the non-PhD world who have no problem beating us up. What do you think police officers are but Scabs. I'll tell you something. Look at your enemy and what they are doing. The billionaire class doesn't want us to really be academics. That's why they removed funding for schools and they constantly support religious run schools. What they want are good robot workers who don't think too much. The billionaire class isn't interested in us having the time or resources to earn our own PhDs because that is an existential threat to the wealthy. You cannot control a well trained mind. A well informed mind is harder to manipulate. A mind that is capable of constant learning will have a wide array of tools and information to avoid foolish traps. So understand this.. invest in your intellectual life because that's the greatest weapon you have. Nobody can truly control you if you can think. No propaganda will work on you. Commercials will be brutally destroyed so you don't fall for the newest fad. When your boss pulls a fast one, you catch it and shine the light on the thing they didn't say. you don't need a PhD. But respect the hard mental work that was necessary to earn that degree. Your brain uses 20% of the caloric energy of your body. It's 3 lbs or less and it uses 20%. Think about how important your brain is over our muscles or bones. Don't sneer at it.
If someone works for a living, that is, they provide a service and do the work, they aren't your enemy, no matter their education. Becoming a PhD means you live that life at your desk. You sacrifice your brain for the work. Dinner time? Oh, no it's not, the piece of equipment becomes open at that time and only for three hours. It's like that for four years without stop. You become an expert at a specific field because you put in the work. It's not as flashy as becoming a star NBA forward or NASCAR driver, but the same amount of effort was put in. You put in the work. Becoming a tradesperson means that you sacrifice your body for the work. It's grueling labour at times, with cases of extreme hours. Every shift you could die. You have talented hands and an eye for small details. You put in the work.
@@jenniferhunter4074 That can only work when these PhDs recognize who the true Opposition to this Class war really are. Are they willing to sacrifice their careers and be branded as 'Socialists/Communists'? There are PhDs from both sides, so academia is not it. I think it's a realization that we only have a short life on this earth and true Human values that leave behind an honorable legacy is what makes one's life meaningful.
The most terrifying thing I learned about economics. Prior to the industrial revolution, markets were embedded in, subordinate to, and benefitted society. If someone grew corn it would be shared, sold, or given to others. Society was important. Not the wealth gained. This was the Keynesian New Deal. However, under neoliberalism the free markets dominate society. AI is a powerful tech frontier dominated by billionaire tech bros with unknown repercussions for the future of the rest of us. Our society. We are pursuing it only because others in the market are pursuing it, so we have to be first or lose. We believe so strongly in the "invisible hand" of the free market to solve all of our problems efficiently. Yet, we ignore the central power of the government to preserve society through regulation. When did the "free market" ever clean a single glass of water because it was profitable to do so? Never.
Free market is completely dependent on strict regulations, otherwise it will always, without exception, lead to monopolies. That's a low of nature for capitalism.
@@JBN137 : outsourcing to cheap programmers overseas has been done before by companies that are no longer. AI is worse, and companies who will use it for "programming" deserve what they get.

This is how oligarchs think:
A man wants to lose 20 pounds. He goes to his doctor who outlines a plan for the man to eat healthier and add exercise and after 6 months, he'll lose 20 pounds.
The man also asks a Venture Capitalist (VC) who tells him that he has a more efficient, easier way for him to lose 20 pounds which will save him six months.
The man chooses the VC. He goes to the VC's office and the VC cuts off his leg.
The VC then bills him twice the cost of a doctor's visit.
And yes, this is exactly the way they think. This is also the way they run their businesses (and why private equity owned nursing homes have a mortality rate that is 10 percent higher than publicly owned homes).

Why would the people of Canada and the United States one tech companies to use up all the energies just to replace them with robotics???

This is terrifying. Prior to the industrial revolution and classical economics, markets used to be embedded in and benefitted society. Under neoliberalism, it's the other way around. They dominate society in the second gilded age. We follow their lead believing free the market will address every problem efficiently.

Capitalists have assumed global governance for the past 50 years now, which is why human rights and borders are being whittled away. As long as we're living in this monopolistic capitalist world, we should pick up the fight for FDR's Second Bill of Rights, in order to preserve the dignity of basic human rights:
The right to a useful and remunerative job in the industries or shops or farms or mines of the Nation;
The right to earn enough to provide adequate food and clothing and recreation;
The right of every farmer to raise and sell his products at a return which will give him and his family a decent living;
The right of every businessman, large and small, to trade in an atmosphere of freedom from unfair competition and domination by monopolies at home or abroad;
The right of every family to a decent home;
The right to adequate medical care and the opportunity to achieve and enjoy good health;
The right to adequate protection from the economic fears of old age, sickness, accident, and unemployment;
The right to a good education.
"All of these rights spell security. And after this war is won we must be prepared to move forward, in the implementation of these rights, to new goals of human happiness and well-being.
America’s own rightful place in the world depends in large part upon how fully these and similar rights have been carried into practice for our citizens. For unless there is security here at home there cannot be lasting peace in the world."
~ Franklin D. Roosevelt

Listening to billionars while understanding the basic idea of class struggle is the best way to prove it. Workers with a Phd should spend a year as the other workers because it humbles them, and confuses their bargaining power and create worker competition.
And workers who do not have a PhD should attempt to try and survive academia before sneering at PhDs. It's about class solidarity. We can't have that if we reject the academic class that provides us with the data and the words to describe the issue properly. Without those intellectuals, we wouldn't even understand, dimly, what "class struggle" is because we'd all be serfs who think so small that our world is our little little tiny village. Those PhDs are the ones who also produce work that we use to show what the billionaire class is doing to us. Income inequality? GINI coefficient? All this stuff is the stuff you need to show what is happening in our world and it was the PhDs who did that work. So be grateful. there are plenty of Scabs in the non-PhD world who have no problem beating us up. What do you think police officers are but Scabs.
I'll tell you something. Look at your enemy and what they are doing. The billionaire class doesn't want us to really be academics. That's why they removed funding for schools and they constantly support religious run schools. What they want are good robot workers who don't think too much. The billionaire class isn't interested in us having the time or resources to earn our own PhDs because that is an existential threat to the wealthy. You cannot control a well trained mind. A well informed mind is harder to manipulate. A mind that is capable of constant learning will have a wide array of tools and information to avoid foolish traps. So understand this.. invest in your intellectual life because that's the greatest weapon you have. Nobody can truly control you if you can think. No propaganda will work on you. Commercials will be brutally destroyed so you don't fall for the newest fad. When your boss pulls a fast one, you catch it and shine the light on the thing they didn't say.
you don't need a PhD. But respect the hard mental work that was necessary to earn that degree. Your brain uses 20% of the caloric energy of your body. It's 3 lbs or less and it uses 20%. Think about how important your brain is over our muscles or bones. Don't sneer at it.
If someone works for a living, that is, they provide a service and do the work, they aren't your enemy, no matter their education.
Becoming a PhD means you live that life at your desk. You sacrifice your brain for the work. Dinner time? Oh, no it's not, the piece of equipment becomes open at that time and only for three hours. It's like that for four years without stop. You become an expert at a specific field because you put in the work. It's not as flashy as becoming a star NBA forward or NASCAR driver, but the same amount of effort was put in. You put in the work.
Becoming a tradesperson means that you sacrifice your body for the work. It's grueling labour at times, with cases of extreme hours. Every shift you could die. You have talented hands and an eye for small details. You put in the work.
@@jenniferhunter4074 That can only work when these PhDs recognize who the true Opposition to this Class war really are. Are they willing to sacrifice their careers and be branded as 'Socialists/Communists'? There are PhDs from both sides, so academia is not it.

The most terrifying thing I learned about economics. Prior to the industrial revolution, markets were embedded in, subordinate to, and benefitted society. If someone grew corn it would be shared, sold, or given to others. Society was important. Not the wealth gained. This was the Keynesian New Deal.
However, under neoliberalism the free markets dominate society. AI is a powerful tech frontier dominated by billionaire tech bros with unknown repercussions for the future of the rest of us. Our society. We are pursuing it only because others in the market are pursuing it, so we have to be first or lose.
We believe so strongly in the "invisible hand" of the free market to solve all of our problems efficiently. Yet, we ignore the central power of the government to preserve society through regulation. When did the "free market" ever clean a single glass of water because it was profitable to do so? Never.
